Questions & answers

Before you buy

  • Yes — the landscape map includes well-known aurora foreground locations (Kirkjufell, Stokksnes, Þingvellir) along with mountain, canyon, and black-sand-beach viewpoints.
  • Yes. Each location includes a recommended season. Many are year-round; some highland spots are summer-only and flagged accordingly.
  • Yes. Locations are chosen as photography viewpoints rather than broad regions, with GPS coordinates for where to start shooting or navigate from.
  • Every map ships in all three formats so you don't have to choose. Use GPX for Gaia GPS, Garmin, or most outdoor apps. Use KML for Google Maps and Google Earth. Use GeoJSON for custom tooling or web maps.
  • Yes. Once you import the file into an app like Google Maps (My Maps), Gaia GPS, or Maps.me, the waypoints are stored on your device and work without cell service — which matters, because Iceland's coverage is patchy outside the Ring Road.
  • We have step-by-step guides for Google Maps, Google Earth, and Gaia GPS. Most imports take under two minutes.
  • Yes — pay once and download the files immediately. There's no subscription. If we add new locations to the category later, existing buyers can reach out for the updated file.
  • Yes. The files are yours to load onto your phone, a second phone, a tablet, a handheld GPS, or your laptop. Personal-use license.
